The extensive wine list is paired with modern European fare.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Cru Restaurant Review: Cru has a double meaning, denoting the restaurant's raw seafood offerings and also the establishment's commitment to wine, with a 150,000-plus-bottle inventory. The wine list, built by one of the owners, contains vintages not often found in restaurants because they were only sold to private collectors. First courses may include crispy sweetbreads...

Vegas export strides into town with a “best in America” rep. Casual space is on the generic side, not so far removed from its strip mall origins. Kitchen turns out more Northern Thai than we’re used to, with Issan-style larb, Burma-influenced short rib egg noodles. Also has Bangkok faves like spicy green curry, fried fish cakes. Do not miss the tuna koi soy, raw fish with cilantro, mint, and...

Former Bouley boy Shea Gallante is the chef, and he's our hero. Bright and beautiful cuisine covers our fair land from sea to shining sea: Columbia River sturgeon, Long Island striped bass, Maine soft shell lobster. The warm, woody interior and the impeccable service encourage lingering. Expert-level 65,000-item wine list ported to you in two intimidating volumes. We always expense the 1899...

The bright and beautifully designed dining room with open kitchen complements Chef Shea Gallante's wonderful cooking. An extraordinary wine list of over 200 pages gives some sense of the tens of thousands of bottles available at Cru. Gallante, formerly of Bouley, presents dishes in a charming and exacting way that indeed reminds us of his mentor.

The castle-like interior and range of European dishes makes this New York dining spot a must see. Acclaimed chef Shea Gallante dazzles with her presentation, with dishes resembling contemporary works of art. The continental menu includes Yellow Bastinga tomato gazpacho, Hamachi crudo and sweet potato gnocchi.

Yes, the wine list is enormous; as a rule, they stock enough to give everybody in Dover, DE a bottle ... actually, make that two. The decor is tastefully stylish, with the chocolate-stained furniture posing a nice complement to the cream-hued walls. The food, of course, truly cements the place's name among the Village elite, thanks to superbly done dishes like capon breast with baked chestnut...

Tips about this business (4)

What to Drink

The 4,000-bottle wine list arrives in two weighty leather-bound volumes. Sommelier Robert Bohr recommends a Burgundy, specifically the 2000 Morey St. Dennis "Clos De La Bussiere" from G. Roumier ($70).

Look Good

Consider ordering the prix-fixe, with three courses for $74, or the chef's tasting menu, which starts at $135. The restaurant requests that everyone at a table either order off the regular menu or order the same special menu.

The Extras

Try Chef Gallante's seasonal tasting menu, which includes six courses starting at $125 (add $95 for wine pairings). The restaurant requests that everyone at a table either order off the regular menu or order the same special menu.

What to Drink

Cru's whopper of a wine list boasts more than 150,000 varietals, and arrives in two weighty leather-bound volumes. Wine director Robert Bohr (and the wine list itself) generally favors Burgundy, but with a list this extensive there's no shortage of other options.
